Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Pan Yongyuan
Patients with diabetic foot should not drink red wine, as alcohol can reduce insulin secretion and may also cause liver damage. Long-term alcohol consumption may exacerbate the condition and impair blood glucose control. Individuals with diabetes should opt for light, bland foods in daily life and avoid high-sugar and spicy or irritating foods.
